I am using a machine with an intel processor with 14 physical cores (among those, 6 performance cores). If I run this code I get an error message.
numWorkers = 8;
p = parpool(numWorkers);

n = 10;
parfor i=1:n
disp(i)
end
The error message is the following:
Error using parpool (line 132)
Too many workers requested. The profile "Threads" has the NumWorkers property set to a
maximum of 6 workers but 8 workers were requested. Either request a number of workers
less than NumWorkers, or increase the value of the NumWorkers property for the profile
(up to a maximum of 512 for thread-based pools).

I don’t understand the error message. Does this mean that the maximum number of cores I can use on my machine is 6, even though it has 14 physical cores? Matlab cannot use cores that are not performance cores?

Thanks in advance for any feedback on this.I am using a machine with an intel processor with 14 physical cores (among those, 6 performance cores). If I run this code I get an error message.
